Application filed m 20,

This invention relates to a device for waving in a series ofsubstantially parallel waves.

An object of the invention is to provide a. device which fits over-'thehead of the wearer and retains the hair in a waved position whiledrying.

A further object is to provide a means for conducting warm air to thehair to facilitate the drying and hasten the waving proc ess.

The invention is illustrated in the accompanying drawing, in which:

Figure 1 is a side elevation of the device in position upon the head ofthe wearer.

Figure 2 is a similar view showmg'the device in a different position.

Figure 3'is a. similar view to Figures 1 and 2 showing a modification ofthe device. I

Figure 4 is an enlarged fragmentary view of the straps and tubes.

Figure 5 is a longitudinal section on the line 5-5 of Figure 4..

Figure 6 is a side elevation of the pick.

Figure 7 is a side elevation of the presser device.

The hair waving device comprises a head strap 1 which is adapted to besecured about the head to su port the said device. The strap is fastenedby a buckle or other fastening means 1 and may be of the form shown inFigure 3 where the head strap includes a neck band 11 secured by afastener 12. Directly engagingthe strap is a plurality. of clamps 2,each of which has a depression 3 which frictionally engages the saidstrap. The clamps are slidably mounted on flexible tubular members 4which extend substantially at right angles to the strap across the headto a second strap hereinafter referred to as the central strap whichpasses from the forehead to the back of the neck and which is connected,at each end to the head strap. The tubular members 4 are connected tothe head strap by the clamps 2 and extend beyond the said head strapwhere they are all connected to a. common tubular member hereinafterreferred to as the main tubular member 5.

The tubular members have small apertures 4, shown in Figure 5,.throughout their length to allow warm air conducted through the maintubular member and the other tubular members to reach the hair. Thedrawing has shown tubular members used to hold the hair in hair wavingposition, but elas- 1928. Serial No. 294,164.

'tic' strips attached to a common head strap would answer the samepurpose, or the entire cap could be made of elastic strips and merelyused as acap where the object of quick drying was not essential.

Used with the device to assist in waving the hair-is an implement, shownin Figure 6, which will be termed a pick 7 and a second implement 8having a handle 9 which will be termed a presser. The purpose of thesetools wilLhereinafter be brought out together with the natureof theiruse.

To obtain a wave in the hair by using the above described device, thehair is first washed, rinsed or may be only dampened in any usualsolution used in' waving the hair. The width of the waves and theirposition is then determined and the tubular members correctly positionedby sliding the clamps along the head strap and the ends of the saidtubular members along the central strap until the said members areproperly spaced.

Beginning at the front of the head the hair is raised to the desiredwave between the first two tubular members by means of the pick which isinserted under the hair and pulled upwards to raise the hair into thedesired wave. The presser is then applied to the second tubular memberand the hair between the second and third tubular members is put intothe waved position, the presser peventing the hair from being drawn out.

tween the first and second tubular member. The'presser is then movedsuccessively over the tubular members and the hair raised between themby the pick. WVarm air is passed through the main tubular member andthence into the other tubular members in which it is conducted over thehead and escaping through the apertures dries the hair quickly. I

Such a device as above described presents a cheap and economical methodof waving the hair and could be used in beauty parlors while a capsomewhat similar to the one described, made with elastic strips insteadof the tubular members could be used instead of the old fashion curlingwires around the home, where quick drying is not essential.

What is claimed is:

. 1. A hair waving device comprising a. head strap, a plurality oftubular members extending substantially at right angles to the strap andspaced from each other, the said tubular members having a plurality ofapertures. throughout their length, clamps adjustably fastening thetubular members to the head strap, an adjusting means for the strap anda main tubular member connected to all the tubular members.

2. A hair waving device comprising a head strap, a central strap, aplurality of tubular members extending between the straps and adjustablysecured thereto, the said tubular members having a plurality ofapertures throughout their length, an adjusting means or the straps anda main tubular member connected to all the other tubular members,whereby warm air conducted through the main tubular member LUCY E.HOLLIER.
